yeah I'm running stock springs. I installed everything just the way it's suppose to. Not sure what can make it sit higher in the front. I guess I need to drive it and hit some hard bumps. LOL

yeah i mean they will settle some but i'm still suprised it raised the front. But seeing as how I havent installed them on stock springs I dont wanna say thats completely unnatural. Anyone else?

Any time you raise a car then put it back down, even if you don't touch a thing suspension wise, it will sit propped up until you drive it. Think about any time you've lifted a car and set it back down, it's always easier to get the jack out then it was to get it in, right?

Okay car settled down and drives AMAZING with these shocks. Feels so nice on the road. I have front turned to half and rears one click from soft and it feels just right!!!Here are my before and after measurements. lower perch mod for front and hose mod in rear on stock springs. Not alot of difference but enough to notice for sure. Thanks guys for all your help. Now I gotta work on the rest of the suspension LOL!!!

The easier the car slides the easier it drifts and all. the front was fine, planty of grip thats why i left them full soft. it was the rear that felt really squishy. i am biased though since my nissan had fully upgraded everything, including solid rear subframe mounts, spherical rod ends on ALL the arms, and 6/4 kg springs. its like comparing apples to airplanes, so i knew it was going to be soft. no surprise there. i was just stating my opinion from a drifter's POV, not that there are an abundance of LS1tech members who slide?
again, not bashing the setup at all. i LOVE how it feels on the street, where my car will spend 98% of its life anyway. my nissan was actually beating me to death on the 140+ mile daily commute. and im not getting any younger... lol
oh, did i mention the left rear spring still has the isolator? only the right rear has the hose mod because the previous owner said the driver side rear began to sag so he put the isolator back in, and its still about 1/2" lower than the driver side. odd, but not a huge problem.
